I've surely mentioned that 1) I am a map freak, 2) I always take a window seat on an airplane, the better to see the landforms from above, and 3) I find much aerial photography to be a first cousin to fine art. Not only are aerial images beautiful, but they convey so much information! Imagine my joy when the SIL directed me to Earth as Art, a NASA site featuring Landsat 7 images from around the world. Kilamanjaro ... Kamchatka ... the fjords of northern Norway ... the Mississippi delta ... the Everglades ... an Antarctic glacier fall ... (above) the delta region of the Netherlands ... and, locally, the Pinacate volcanic field of northern Sonora. To name a few. Do take a look!

Awesome images! How else to describe Our Earth as Art, seen from the Landsat-7 satellite. The Atlas Mountains. The Netherlands shore line. A complete Brazilian river system. Colima volcano. The fjords of Iceland. The Volga River delta and many other remarkable sights. All available as high-def image files for downloading, no charge (your government at work for you...) Be sure to take a good look.
